Greek Original:
*)ama/sths: pei/qousin a)/ndra gennai=o/n te kai\ a)ma/sthn ei)selqo/nta a)popni/cai to\n *ko/modon, o)/noma *na/rkisson.
Notes:
Herodian 1.17.11 (via John of Antioch, Adler tentatively suggested -- but not accepted by U. Roberto as a fragment of that author).
The transmitted adjective a)ma/sths (in the accusative a)ma/sthn) is otherwise unattested, and alternatives have been proposed, e.g. a)kma/sthn (Mendelssohn) and gumna/sthn (Sylburg, comparing Dio-Xiphilinus 72.22.5).
For the emperor Commodus, see generally kappa 2007.
